In conceptualizing Artist Elite, Alvarez’s goal was simple: to produce a collection of guitars that are beyond comparison. Showcasing premium grade solid Sitka, Mahogany, Walnut, Cedar and figured Acacia tops and featuring wood bindings, this stunning series is the culmination of years of R&D that allows Alvarez to produce custom-style instruments from amazing tone woods with a truly radiant vibe. Artist Elite instruments look amazing, sound rich, and offer a level of fit and finish rarely attainable at such price points.
